Is there such thing as a quality Space Race chess set? What would the pawns be? Mercury capsules? & The Bishops? The LM? & Kings? Kennedy? & The Queens? Noah |

Not sure about chess but Monopoly made a U.S. Space Program version that has tokens like the Lunar Rover, Shuttle, LM and Apollo Command/Service module. I have it and it's pretty cool! :-) |

I chance to get one of those Monopoly games once, but had to pass at the time. Havn't seen another since. What is the equal of Boardwalk on it?------------------

Looks like there is a chess game here on ebay. The pawns are all apollo era astros, 4 space shuttles as Rooks 4 Saturns as Knights 4 Moons as bishops 2 Earth as queens and 2 Sun as kings --kind of neat. Robert, I think BuySpace should stock these!
